Another chance for the Brits to get rid of this weird institution.
My biggest takeaway from the article is that he’s 75. Holy shit, I would’ve guessed 86.
Will he turn to Homeopathy or one of the other crank medical remedies he has promoted in the past?
I bet he’ll do everything but credit only the homeopathy/alt treatments
Let him be the last and turn their houses into museums with the money going to the countries they demolished
Heh, that’s a good one. They are planning to send something to those countries already, but it’s immigrants.
Anyway, at this point some say the British royals are a net benefit for the country as a tourist attraction. Paris has Disneyland, London has Buckingham… 🤷
They do have a lot more soft power over the government than many give them credit for though, plus some (so far) unused actual power that they only don’t use by tradition (which these days is more clearly a bad idea to rely on than ever). Plus all there’s all that money that goes into the pageantry of it (royal weddings, etc).
I feel like it’s be one thing to let them keep their royal titles, but they shouldn’t be enmeshed with the state in any actual way imo.
